Why Carol Hayse chose Nemo

I grew up in the Black Hills and left there, restless to see the world, when I graduated high school--couldn't wait to leave. Now that a few decades have passed, I could not wait to retire and get back for good.

What makes this Cabin unique

I have a very busy time of it when I can get out there. It takes a lot of energy to walk the woods and peaks with my dog, look out back to see if the bachelor elk is coming by, pick up fossils, watch the sunset from Custer Peak, lie on my back in an innertube, and meditate on the front lawn. When friends visit, we go to Deadwood, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and ride the 1880 train. The Warrior's Work gallery in Hill City is amazing, and Prairie Edge store and museum in Rapid in remarkable. Custer State Park is un-missable, and the rock shops and antique-ing are wonderful. Come on by!

The cabin met our needs very well. Very spacious for 2 couples. The owners were always helpful. Property is quiet and out of the way, yet close to great motorcycle rides around Nemo and Deadwood.

Our stay at the cabin in the woods was one of the best VRBO experiences of all time. The property was picturesque and the amenities were perfect for our group. The ice maker was a definite plus for making cold drinks after a full day of riding in the Black Hills. The cabin location is central to the many scenic attractions in the area. I would recommend this place hands down as a place to stay while visiting the Black Hills.

This was our 2nd stay at Shady Grove for the Black Hills Motorcycle Rally and I didn't think it would be possible but it was better than the first! Carole and Lin are the ideal hosts; from the minute we arrived until the day we pulled away, we were made to feel at home and welcome! The cabin is beautiful, well maintained, and stocked with any and everything you may need on a trip to the Black Hills. I can't imagine any of our future trips back not including Carole, Lin, and Shady Grove....thanks for a fantastic time ladies!!

Our early June stay at Shady Grove cabin was wonderful! The views were amazing, everything was fresh and super clean, furnishings were new, it was nicely decorated, and the kitchen was large, fully stocked, and had up-to-date appliances. The cabin had a really nice feel to it. All of the beds were comfortable. The master bedroom was big and had a king bed with down comforter. The second bedroom was also roomy with a double and two singles. Washer and dryer came in very handy. Lovely decks on both the front and back of the cabin. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. While the cabin itself was great for us, what was most amazing was the level of service. I have stayed in about 7 different VRBO homes over the past 10 years, and hands down this one has the best service I have ever experienced. The owners, Carol and Lin, live on the lower level (which can also be rented out). They were super responsive from the moment I first contacted them until the end of our stay. We left about 3 a.m. on our day of departure, and by 7:30 a.m. I had an email from Carol letting me know that our damage deposit refund had been submitted! Plus, they were a lot of fun. So much so that we invited them up for a game of dominoes one night, and I've never hung out with owners in the past. They are super kid and dog friendly, and have good suggestions about how to plan your stay. The cabin is located in Nemo, SD, which is roughly central in the Black Hills area. It was a pretty 1-hour drive to Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse area. The beautiful Pactola Reservoir was about 20 minutes away where we spent a few afternoons building sand castles and playing on the beach. Highly recommend Shady Grove cabin!

Owner's Response:

What a great family! So much fun and such good sports. It rained most of the time they were here, but they were so cheerful and adaptable. We were so tickled to play board games with them, and we got a picture from their very interesting and and sociable young son. We would welcome them back many more times.
